Last Journey

LEADERONIA- The Secretariat of the Great Leader authorized
the Registry to publish the obituary recieved by fellow citizen
A. Nakhapetian:

On the cold evening of january 24th 2005 the well
loved but often mistreated suffered the final blow
from which it would never recover. many happy moments
were shared inside its weathered doors some of which
are forever forgotten dew to intoxication level of
both passingers and drivers. it served us well though
often attracting the unwanted attention of the low
enforcment that never understood the special mission
of mitsubishi diamante 1993 station vagon.
perhaps it was the fact that it had record number of
broken windows or that several severe dents were never
fixed or the fact that for 6 years of its life in the
hands of Lev, Yura, Agassi and Swagata it was never
washed.
i ask you to wish it a peacefull last journey.

Compleanno di ROMA

Il Grande Leader si sta preparando a celebrare il 2757imo compleanno della citta' di Roma.

Leggenda vuole che la città nasca nel 753 a.C. Fonti storiche fanno coincidere con la festa delle Palilie (in onore di Pales , la dea del Palatino) le prime celebrazioni dedicate a questo giorno, altre azzardano che la ricorrenza di san Pietro e Paolo del 29 giugno non sia che la trasformazione della festa dedicata a Romolo e Remo in ricordo del primo tracciato dell’Urbe.
Il mito che tutti conosciamo narra di Romolo e Remo, fratelli gemelli figli di Rea Silvia e del dio Marte. Abbandonati dalla madre nel Tevere, si salvarono solo perché allevati da una lupa e da un pastore di nome Faustolo. Ma il termine "lupa" potrebbe anche rimandare ad una prostituta, poiché così erano dette le meretrici dell’antica Roma. I fratelli, ancora adolescenti, si cimentarono nell’impresa di fondare una città.
Ma l’ambizione di entrambi d’essere l’unico fondatore, fa nascere i primi contrasti. Decidono allora di affidarsi alla volontà di Giove, che avrebbe concesso lo scettro di fondatore di Roma a colui che avesse osservato nella stessa quantità di tempo un maggior numero di uccelli. E’ Romolo ad avvistarne di più, anche se in ritardo rispetto a Remo, e scaglia la sua lancia di corniolo sul Palatino per scegliere il luogo. Dalla punta della lancia nasce un albero di corniolo che diverrà sacro a Roma. Romolo quindi traccia con un vomere di bronzo il "solco primigenio", ponendo alla sua sinistra una vacca bianca e alla sua destra un toro di uguale colore. Infine ordina ai suoi uomini di costruire lungo il solco un recinto di legno e fango per sancirne la sacralità e l’inviolabilità. Ma la nascita della città ha un epilogo tragico: terminata la costruzione Remo scavalca le mura, violandole in segno di sfida, e su di esse viene ucciso da Romolo.
Le celebrazioni del Natale di Roma, dopo un periodo di silenzio, tornarono in auge intorno al 1870. Tra i festeggiamenti da ricordare ,l’appuntamento con la "Patarina", la campana della torre sul Campidoglio che rintocca ogni 21 aprile a mezzogiorno.
